Closing :

I'm sure this game may draw comparasions to Undertale, but I think that game is old hat by now. I suggest that Moon Remix RPG Adventure informed this work more.

Seeing as one of the now

Seeing as one of the now banned users used the phrase "ugly beasts in mobility scooters" in their rant against Alt Gamez I see that games like Dragon in the Road are still necessary. Those "ugly beasts" are humans, deserving respect that comes with existence. What a vile phrase.

All-around fantastic

Your distinctive artstyle and fotocopiadora's sound go so well together here. Nanando's art stands out, specifically their soft, round sleeping model and their stunning battle portrait. I loved how confined I felt on the narrow path and how slowly it went through the menus, and I think I loved most of all how if you choose to ignore the flute, Tyrant simply finds a different path.

This game made me really happy.
